To find out which company Amy will earn more money in a week, we need to compare the total earnings for each company.
In Company 1, Amy will earn $112.50 for 5 hours, $185 for 10 hours, $257.50 for 15 hours, and $330 for 20 hours. To find out how much she will earn for 40 hours, we can calculate the average earnings per hour:
Average earnings per hour = Total earnings / Total hours
= ($112.50 + $185 + $257.50 + $330) / 20
= $885 / 20
= $44.25 per hour
Therefore, in Company 1, Amy will earn:
$44.25 * 40 = $1770
In Company 2, Amy will earn $12.50 per hour plus a bonus of $80. So for 40 hours, her earnings will be:
$12.50 * 40 + $80 = $500 + $80 = $580
Therefore, Amy will earn $1770 in Company 1 and $580 in Company 2.
To find out how much more she will earn in Company 1, we can subtract the earnings in Company 2 from the earnings in Company 1:
$1770 - $580 = $1190.
So, Amy will earn $1190 more in Company 1 compared to Company 2.
Answer: Amy will earn $1190 more in Company 1.
